Autumn Is Here...or Fall!

Recently we went out with some of our Brit friends (also based in Austin) to a place downtown called Esthers Follies, its an entertainment show marketed as 'Texas' premier magic and comedy troupe'. A very funny and clever show with satire, magic and some great Trump/Hillary comparisons.

So we have bought our Halloween outfits and I attended a 'committee meeting' at a neighbours house about organising our Halloween street party so I think we are ready. I'm also pleased to report the decorations around this area have been tamer so far and I am yet to see a clown so all good!

Last week we moved house again. Unfortunately due to some unforeseen circumstances we ended up moving a week earlier than planned but after the initial panic, things slowly slipped into place and with some help and luck we were able to orchestrate the whole move quicker than we thought.

We are on the same street, but have moved to the other side of the road so we now have lake access. A real treat for anyone living in Austin!

Last month our children auditioned for the Nutcracker and both of them got parts so every Saturday we have been taking them to the rehearsals ready for the show in December. We are very proud parents of course and cannot wait for the show.

There are some larger shops in Austin that sell some English foods and recently we were excited to find some Quality Street tins...check out the 'bargain' price!!
